SXSW RCRD OF THE DAY: Dr. Dog - Stranger

Pardon the pun, but Philly's Dr. Dog–in all their jaunty, freewheeling, nonthreatening gang-likeness (that's the entire band you hear singing harmonies)–are the sound of brotherly love. "Stranger" is the first single from their new album Shame, Shame and, like most Dr. Dog songs, sounds like something you'd be psyched to find in your parents' attic–wholly vintage (ballad snares, dusty pianos) but ultimately cooler than anything else you own.
Shame, Shame is out on April 6 via Anti-. The band begin a three-show stint in Austin tonight, details on those below the fold.
